Highly recommend
I got this for a 3 day camping trip and I am so glad that I did. In the past i've used a "traditional" solar shower (bag w tube and nozzle). I got this because of the sprayer and also since it is supposed to sit up. I am so glad that I did. I'll say when I completely filled it it did want to tip. I had to sit it up just right and ended up leaning it against something. With that being said that is the ONLY negative about this solar shower. The water pressure its self, ease of use, literally everything about this solar shower I love. We used it for rinsing off and washing dishes. When I got home I hung it to dry and it has a carrying case to keep it clean in the meantime. Highly suggest purchasing this if you are on the fence. My brother in law is buying one to keep with his pop up camper after using it just one time.

Bench test: Leaking nozzle
The nozzle leaks at the hose connection and inside the trigger (notice the puddle of water from 30 minutes). I can fix it but I shouldn't need to.The nozzle is a cheap cheap version from the sink section of Home Depot. A smaller and more rugged nozzle would be better.Do not loose the little rubber washer in the collar. It does not stay inside the screw collar- another design flaw.The hose is a hose. Although a quick disconnect at the bladder similar to Camel Bak's design would be nice.I am very satisfied with the construction of the bladder. It is a heavy-duty PVC which is solid. It stands up when at least1/3 full. The screw cap (2 in diameter) is great along with the soft handle across the top which allows me to hang and carry the bladder.I also like the translucent area so I can see how much water is inside.The pressure depends on how much you use the footpump. I used my hand and got acceptable flow. The pump is a solid design.Overall, it is a good product with an epic fail- the nozzle. I would definitely replace the nozzle (10$ parts at Home Depot) IF...I decide to keep it.One star is solely based on the leaky nozzle. Solid construction otherwise.

Did not develop any usable pressure, just got new unit works great
This product did not develop any usable pressure., just got replacement unit, worked great. Passed all test and hold pressure for over 3 hours

Useful, but is it durable?
I think this camp shower will work just fine. Here are what I like and have concerns about:LIKECompact and fairly lightEasy to useHas a little turn handle on the spout that lets you go from spray to streamHas a handle on the bottom to help you dump itFoot pump seems (I hope) to have reinforcing layers so it doesn't popCONCERNSThe instructions say you can't add water hotter than 120 degrees F or you will void the warranty and may damage it. So if, like me, you don't take a thermometer with you camping, you have to figure out how to avoid putting water that is too hot into the container. Good luck with that.I have concerns about the durability of the hoses at the base, and while they leave a gap to avoid crushing them, I am going to wrap the hoses at the bottom as a precaution.

ok camping shower, but no solar heating
It's more cumbersome to use than simple camping showers. The lid screws on with every 10th try. It's not possible for your kids to use, since they won't get it airtight - which means it won't build pressure and can't be used. Remove the retaining ring from the lid and your odds get slightly better.There's supposed to be a thermometer, but there wasn't one on my unit.And 'solar' is misleading. It's a heavy black plastic bag, which will heat up in hot sun. But I put a cast iron pan next to it to try and the pan heats up warmer and quicker.It looks to me like someone designed a really cool thing and it got sloshed together poorly.I do like the foot pedal, but I dislike that it sits 3 inches from the container, which requires the container to stand on the muddy floor. And in less than ideal conditions, you're unlikely to get enough pressure to shower.Overall: I won't return it because I'm too lazy. I'll keep it for summer camping, but I would not have bought it if I had tried it out first. It's nicer than the simple bags that you hang into a tree, but if you have a tree to hang it from, get the simple cheap one that works by gravity.

Effective, easy to use shower!
We have only used this shower once, so we don't know how it will be over the long haul but it did work well. My husband put hot water in it and it stayed hot. He used only about a gallon and a half of water and said that the pressure was very adequate. The only criticism he had was that once your hand is soapy, it's hard to squeeze the shower nozzle because it's so slippery.

Packaging flaw
I originally purchased the Kradl Pressure Shower because it was a cheaper alternative to the Nemo Helio Portable Pressure Camp Shower.My concern is that Kradl will not stand up over time due to the packaging methods and for this I will be returning mine. There are several kinks through out the hoses connecting to the water container and foot pump. The bag that comes with the Kradl Pressure Shower is barely large enough to fit the components. Due to the limited space in the storage bag, the hoses are bent and are being damaged. The shower head feels cheaply made although the water container and the foot pump appear to be in good shape.I hope in the future they will fix this issue

Cold showers are great/but heats up in sun
This was the best one out there very tuff and sleek and very easy to use. Great water flow the shower head was great you could leave it on or use by hand. It would flip backwards for continuous use. Lite weight and very stealth thank you kradl
